Stomping violently? Strange behavior...

Sorry if this is off topic, but I'm new to tarantulas myself and would like to know what a "T" is? And I hope your rose gets better

Just a quicker way of saying tarantula. and thank you, me too

Oh thanks, haha I thought it was some big scientific thing, haha. Hey do you know anything about a bite from a rose?

Yes pinkies. One one week and another a week later. (didn't want to kill it myself and my other T didn't want it. ) It didn't look like she had any trouble subduing them.

@spiderengineer- Yeah I wasn't sure on buying the pinkies, the guy at my exotic pet store told me I should as they get bigger. I never realized that they could potentially be harmful to the T.

Pinks themselves cannot harm anything, it is their nutritional content that is the concern. As an occasional treat they are fine, and even beneficial, but given as a regular staple they do not offer proper nutrition.

A bite, unless you have a specific allergy is harmless. About the same as a bee sting. Some of the larger species have fangs capable of puncturing a fingernail or severing arteries or even smaller tendons, but there is no evidence that any T has venom that can kill an adult human.

Thanks, I wrote a post about it called Rose Hair Bite, if you would read it and give me your input i would really like that.

Caught her doing her one leg on the glass thing.

 

[Ms.Vicious]

Its weird because my Rosie does something like this too! Except he moves slower and goes around in a small tight circle. He doesn't spin a web while he's doing it or anything. And I have only seen him do this behavior once since I have had him. Its strange.

Im wondering if it could be a biting parasite that is just annoying her?

I hope not, all my tanks are clean, fresh substrate, and non of my other T's seem to be bothered at all. She is a Rosie so who knows!

One of the mysteries of keeping tarantulas i guess

Ive heard feeding mice to T's isnt good for them, idk though but i heard it can cause molting problems.

Yes you are correct, also the calcium intake from the mice is not good for T's also.
